We’ll have more from the win over the Lakers, but for now, check out the Lob City Ledger from Jovan Buha:

Blake Griffin 9-18 FG | 4-7 FT | 14 REB | 5 AST | 22 PTS | +10

GRADE B

Disregarding his quiet second half offensively, Griffin had an impressive defensive outing. He gives up at least three inches to Andrew Bynum, but that didn’t stop him from rotating over and playing him physically with DeAndre Jordan on the bench. In an encouraging trend, Griffin played inside, attacking the rim and not relying on his jumper as much. He also has a unique relationship with gravity.

Chris Paul 12-22 FG | 6-6 FT | 4 REB | 6 AST | 33 PTS | +15

GRADE A+

Paul followed up his best game of the season with and even better game. The passivity and indecision that plagued him in his first few games is gone. He matched Kobe Bryant almost point for point and dazzled himself into open looks through nonexistent seams. The only concern for L.A. is that he strained his left hamstring late in the fourth quarter and sat out the rest of the contest.

DeAndre Jordan 2-3 FG | 0-1 FT | 10 REB | 0 AST | 4 PTS | -3

GRADE B

In assessing Jordan’s defensive value to this team, look no further than the Lakers’ run in the first quarter. The second he went out because of foul trouble, the Lakers went inside and got layup after layup. When Jordan was on the floor, he played great post defense, contested shots and was active on the boards. However, the Clippers cannot afford him to commit unnecessary fouls.
